Texas Elite Spartans Announce New Home Stadium at UTA Maverick Stadium

A New Era for Women’s Professional Football in DFW Begins March 28, 2026

The Texas Elite Spartans, five-time WNFC champions and the winningest team in women’s professional tackle football, are proud to announce that UTA Maverick Stadium will serve as their new home beginning with the 2026 season.

The Spartans will debut at the venue on March 28 vs. the Mississippi Panthers, followed by two more home matchups , April 18 vs. the Chicago Winds and May 9 vs. the Kansas City Glory  all under the Saturday-night lights in Arlington, Texas.

A Central Home for a Growing Fan Base

The move to Maverick Stadium places the Spartans at the center of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, offering fans across North Texas a convenient, accessible home to experience the most elite level of women’s tackle football. Located on the campus of the University of Texas at Arlington, the stadium provides expanded seating, upgraded facilities, and the game-day atmosphere expected of championship-caliber sports.

Just steps away, the Dallas Wings (WNBA) will play their 2026 season at College Park Center on the same campus, creating a dynamic intersection of women’s professional sports in Arlington. The Spartans’ goal is clear: to set new attendance records in women’s tackle football.

The Fastest-Growing Brand in Women’s Tackle Football

The Texas Elite Spartans are not only a dynasty on the field,  they are one of the fastest-growing women’s sports platforms in the state of Texas.

In 2025, the team’s digital reach skyrocketed, with more than 9.3 million views across social platforms. Their content reached over 6 million accounts on Meta platforms alone,  a 214% increase in reach and 199% growth in interactions year-over-year.

Several viral moments fueled this rise, including their 2025 WNFC Championship Game Recap, which drew 2.1 million views and 87,000 interactions on Facebook in just days, cementing the Spartans as one of the most visible and influential brands in women’s sports.

Momentum for Women’s Sports in Texas

Women’s sports are thriving nationwide, and Texas is at the center of that momentum. The Spartans’ move to Maverick Stadium represents a bold step forward for the visibility, professionalism, and fan experience of women’s tackle football.

“Moving to Maverick Stadium isn’t just about location,” said Coach Odessa “OJ” Jenkins, Head Coach of the Texas Elite Spartans. “It’s about access, community, and creating a home worthy of the athletes who built this dynasty. We’re building something for everyone in North Texas to rally behind.”
